Big B : Music Gave me Hope during Tough Times!

The 73-year-old actor Amitabh Bachan is currently hosting "Aaj Ki Raat Hai Zindagi", and will be also seen singing in the Star Plus show.

"Each episode of AKRHZ ('Aaj Ki Raat Hai Zindagi') shall open with a number of mine sung and at times composed by me, to bring in the atmosphere of what we wish for another...for I believe music is a tremendous healer, not just of the soul but indeed of the body too," Big B posted on his blog.

While remembering some days which he spent in hospital, the "Piku" actor wrote "Of the many days and nights that I have spent in ICU's and hospital beds, this element (music) has always protected me and given me hope and encouragement".

"I went through two local surgeries on the abdomen, listening to music in my ears with my head phones on and humming away to drown the sound of the technical procedures that were being conducted below."

In Bengaluru city in 1982 Amitabh suffered a near fatal accident while shooting an action scene for Manmohan Desai's Coolie. It took him several months to recover fully. He has also gone through various surgeries after that.
